Everyone knows the story of the Nutcracker Prince. How he was changed into a nutcracker by an evil magician and given as a present to the young Clara. How Clara freed him from the evil spell journeyed to the home of the Sugar Plum Fairy and defeated the Mouse King. But what happened after the Mouse King was defeated?

It had been several years since the fairy Prince Branagh had been freed from the evil enchantment and defeated the Mouse King. Now he spent most of his time hidden away from his people, except at Christmas when he returned to the home of his aunt, the Sugar Plum Fairy. Wounded in battle, Branagh didn't like for anyone to see him without his glamour, after all fairies were supposed to be beautiful, not scarred.

Melle, an elf, had wanted to catch a glimpse of the fabled prince for years now. But he arrived in secret and she had never been asked to attend the special dinner and dance, so the opportunity never arose. Tonight, though, she would see him. After finishing her chores, Melle slipped silently into the chamber set aside for the Prince, built a fire and hid behind the curtains to wait for his arrival.

More than anything Branagh wished to find a woman who would love him as he was, scarred and wounded, not as he should be. Finding Melle in his quarters was a surprise, but the desire he saw in her eyes was a godsend. Unable to deny his desire, he takes her to bed.

She had lost her husband in the war and hadn't felt desire for any man until now. Branagh was gorgeous and she wanted him. As they gave into their desire, she felt the elf song, rising within her. She had never thought she would feel it again, and knew she had found love and her soulmate.

The song that encircled him as Melle reached her peak enchanted Branagh. It bound him and he knew he would love her the rest of his life. But as heir to the throne he was promised to marry a fairy princess, never before had an elf sat on the throne. Would their newfound love survive the test of banishment?

As a devoted fan of fantasy and a lover of the Nutcracker story, I was thrilled beyond measure to review Elf Song. Ms. Winston captured the magic of the Nutcracker story and made it her own. Here is a noteworthy tale, filled with magic, love, danger, passion, and above all, Christmas spirit. Melle and Branagh are perfect for each other and their world unforgettable. Don't miss this delectable keeper!

Cowboy and bull rider, Mitch Winston, just wants to find that special someone to love for all time. But being well-endowed makes it hard for him to find that special someone, let alone a woman who won't go off screaming at his very large size and be spooked by the glow-in-the-dark tattoo located on his lower belly.

Hannah Hunt, has always heard the rumors surrounding Mitch Winston and they fascinate her. She goes to the Pro Bull Riding Association finals in hopes of finally meeting the man who has played the main role in her steamiest fantasies for the past year. Hannah has no problem going after what she wants and she wants Mitch Winston, The Phallus from Dallas. Will Mitch be able to withstand the very tempting Hannah? Will Hannah's fantasy finally come true?

The Phallus from Dallas is a fun and quick read, filled with steamy sex and very determined characters who are not afraid of going after what they want. Authors, Ciarra Sims and Samantha Winston do a wonderful job in bringing the characters to life and giving you a hot story that has you squirming in your seat throughout the whole story. The Phallus from Dallas is written from both the hero and heroine's point of view and while some may think this will distract you from the storyline, it, in fact, enhances the feel of the story letting you know the feelings and thoughts of each character. This is one sizzling story you should not miss out on.
